Introduction

The Pricing Model controls how your Core Sale is priced, including tier-based supply caps, price adjustments, and overall pricing limits. You can customize each tier manually or set automatic pricing rules to streamline your sales experience and align with your revenue goals.

This article explains how to configure your pricing model, including manual tier setup and automated price adjustments.

Prior Knowledge

Before setting up your Pricing Model, you should be familiar with:

• What is a Core?
  Explore the different types of cores, their roles in validating transactions, and how they contribute to the security and operation of blockchain ecosystems.
   
• Funding Distribution Model
  Understand how sales revenue will flow to recipients once pricing tiers are triggered.
   
• Core Sale Configuration
  Know how your sale timing, purchase limits, and currency selection impact your pricing strategy.

Having this context ensures you build a pricing strategy aligned with your funding goals and community expectations.

Pricing Model Configuration

Tiered Sale

Define fixed tiers with manual control over pricing and supply.

• Add Tier
  • Core Supply for this Tier: Set how many Core licenses will be available in this tier.
  • Price in USD: Define the fixed price for each Core in this tier.
• Import a CSV file
  • You can bulk upload your tier configuration.
  • Ensure your CSV includes both Supply and Price fields for each tier.

Manual tiering is ideal for precise control, allowing you to structure pricing based on supply and expected demand.

Tiered Sale with Automatic Price Adjustments

Enable automatic pricing logic to streamline your tiered sale.

• Supply in Tier: Define the number of Cores license per tier.
• Total Core Supply Cap: Set the maximum total supply for the sale across all tiers.
• Price Increase in USD per Tier: Specify how much the price will increase as each tier is sold out.
• Price Cap: Set a maximum price limit of Core license to ensure affordability and prevent runaway price escalation.

This automated approach simplifies management and creates predictable pricing progression as demand increases.

Why It Matters

A well-configured pricing model:

• Gives you flexibility to manage supply and demand dynamically across multiple tiers
• Encourages early participation by rewarding initial buyers with lower pricing
• Streamlines sale management by automating price adjustments as supply is consumed

With the right pricing strategy, you balance accessibility with growth, ensuring your sale is attractive to early supporters while supporting your project’s long-term funding goals.
